  • Title: Tuning the selectivity of polymeric ionic liquid sorbent coatings for the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using solid-phase microextraction.
    Author: Meng Y, Anderson JL.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2010 Oct 01; 1217(40):6143-52. PubMed ID: 20800235.
    Abstract:
    A new generation polymeric ionic liquid (PIL), poly(1-4-vinylbenzyl)-3-hexadecylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide (poly(VBHDIm(+) NTf(2)(-))), was synthesized and is shown to exhibit impressive selectivity towards the extraction of 12 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from aqueous samples when used as a sorbent coating in direct-immersion solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to gas chromatography (GC). The PIL was imparted with aromatic character to enhance π-π interactions between the analytes and the sorbent coating. For comparison purposes, a PIL with similar structure but lacking the π-π interaction capability, poly(1-vinyl-3-hexadecylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide) (poly(HDIm(+) NTf(2)(-))), as well as a commercial polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sorbent coating were evaluated and exhibited much lower extraction efficiencies. Extraction parameters, including stir rate and extraction time, were studied and optimized. The detection limits of poly(VBHDIm(+) NTf(2)(-)), poly(HDIm(+) NTf(2)(-)), and PDMS coatings varied between 0.003-0.07 μg L(-1), 0.02-0.6 μg L(-1), and 0.1-6 μg L(-1), respectively. The partition coefficients (logK(fs)) of eight PAHs to the three studied fiber coatings were estimated using a static SPME approach. This study represents the first report of analyte partition coefficients to any PIL-based material.
